Whispering Verse

"Meow~"

The cat, which was picking up Shade's clothes by the pillow, trying to get him some food, suddenly raised its head and looked curiously at the falling snow on the ceiling, reflecting the strange scenery in its amber eyes. It stretched out its little paws to fiddle with the falling snowflakes in front of it. After touching it, it was frightened by the cold feeling, but soon stretched out its paws curiously again.

Judging from Miss Mia Gold's letter, Mia is less than half a year old and has probably never seen snow.

Miss Louisa looked around and saw that this was still Shade's bedroom. Although snowflakes were falling from the ceiling, compared to the situation last night, the current situation was too ordinary.

"This is all I can do now. I can feel how powerful the thaumaturgy I have mastered is, but I can't use it. I can only achieve snowfall in a certain area now. Fortunately, it keeps the snowy appearance and basically does not consume my energy. Spirit and elements.”

Shade said, and then canceled the thaumaturgic effect, otherwise he would not be able to eat his breakfast.

Mia looked a little disappointed and kept scratching Shade's quilt to make noises. She liked these white and cool things.

Miss Louisa thought for a moment:

"Sure enough, it's as I expected. Your level of ring magician is too low and your spirit is too little, so even if this thaumaturgy belongs to you completely, the effect can only be partially achieved. This is easy to understand."

She said regretfully, looked at the angry cat, and added:

"But the future is promising. This is equivalent to the fact that after you are promoted to a high level, you will be able to master a powerful thaumaturgy immediately."

Shade nodded, took a bite of the scrambled eggs and found that they tasted good. It seems that Miss Louisa, who lives alone, has already mastered the skills of cooking.

"By the way, why did you engrave the [Little Match Girl] spiritual rune? I was with you last night, and the scene when you were engraving the spiritual rune seemed a little different from ordinary situations..."

She spoke hesitantly. This was probably the question she really wanted to ask.

Before Shade could answer, Miss Louisa took the initiative to introduce her situation:

"I once told you that my lower fourth ring is to use the story of "The Little Match Girl" to connect words of sublimation. The enlightenment rune [match] obtained in the story, the enlightenment rune [match] obtained in the story Fantasy Dream], the whispering rune [The Man Who Frozen to Death] obtained by contacting the relics, and the blasphemous rune [Compassion] obtained with the help of the doctor, together with my own [Writer], build the language of sublimation - the fantasy dream of the match, writing I feel pity for those who freeze to death."

The life ring slowly appeared behind the blonde girl, and the five spiritual runes she mentioned were displayed in front of Shade. In addition, Miss Louisa also has the four spiritual runes required for the fourth ring, and she is already qualified to advance to the fifth ring.

"Look, detective, I also know the power of [The Little Match Girl], but I have never heard of anyone being able to directly engrave enlightenment runes with the names of the stories. Even the thaumaturgy associated with the runes is a complete reproduction of that story."

She looked at Shade, with an inquiring look in her green eyes. Shade also looked at the blonde girl. The two looked at each other for a moment. Miss Louisa stretched her head forward slightly, allowing Shade to smell the faint perfume on her body and asked.

She was a little embarrassed and asked softly and tentatively:

"Although this is incredible, combined with the questions you came to my house to ask on Thursday morning (note), and inferred from common sense-Shad Suellen Hamilton, you would not..."

Shade saw his reflection through Miss Louisa's eyes, and calling him by his full name usually only happened in serious conversations.

Miss Louisa looked at him expectantly, but Shade made up his mind to let her say:

"Is he the original author of "The Little Match Girl"?"

Shade blinked, and the air in the room seemed to freeze at this moment. Miss Louisa held her breath. Shade looked away from her and nodded:

"Yes, that's me."

"Oh~"

Miss Louisa pursed her lips and retracted her body, leaning her back on the chair, looking at Shade sitting on the bed eating. After a while he said:

"Although I guessed it, it still feels incredible to hear you admit it in person... Is this how you told me?"

"Why can't I tell you? Miss Louisa, will you tell others this secret of mine?"

Shade asked in a retreat.

"Of course not. Since you trust me, of course I can't talk nonsense."

The blond girl shook her head and smiled in relief. The weird atmosphere that had existed between the two since she asked the question dissipated because of Shade's answer:

"I'm just curious. After all, everyone has mastered the power of Stick Girl. You have reached the end in one step, but I am still moving forward step by step... You used the time key to... No, No need to answer.”

Shade stared at the scrambled eggs on his plate, which had a rich flavor.

The next words are related to his secret, but if you think about it carefully, since Miss Louisa has already guessed it, it is better to be more honest. After all, the only secret he really wanted to keep was his identity as a foreigner.

So I temporarily put down the tableware in my hands:

"Actually, it doesn't matter, it's just the time key. I told you that the first time exploration I experienced was an angel-level key, but it was not, it was an agnostic-level key. I saw God, and God helped me , so there are traces of me in the past..."

He nodded at Miss Louisa, which meant that was it. Miss Louisa raised her head and covered her forehead with her hands, looking past Shade at the morning light through the gap in the curtains:

"I didn't expect to hear something like this so early in the morning."

"Can't accept it?"

Shade took a bite of the bread, tore off a bit and handed it to Mia. The cat immediately stretched out his head and took a small bite.

"This statement makes sense... Reason tells me that what you said is true, but emotionally, I can't accept this magical thing... Okay, accept it Yes, it sounds very reasonable...So it's okay for you to face the evil god when you are at Lakeview Manor, because that is not the first meeting with God..."

She murmured to herself, while Shade lowered his head to eat. Of course he can cook, but he's not very used to the eating habits of this world, and he's not very good at it, so breakfast usually consists of bread.

"Xia De, I won't tell anyone else about this. If you didn't tell me, I would never have guessed in my life that the original Enlightenment Rune could be obtained in this way. It's really amazing. If this could be announced, it would probably be in the past hundred years. The most significant result of research on the elements of enlightenment.”

She adjusted her mood and took a deep breath:

"Shade, can you agree to a request of mine?"

"What?"

Shade looked up at her. The blonde girl's eyes seemed to be shining. She made up her mind before speaking:

"Let me be your teacher."

"ha?"
